Director **Lenny Abrahamson’**s new film, Frank, follows a band of experimental musicians on their unintended journey from the backwater woods of Wales to indie fame at SXSW. Led by **Michael Fassbender’**s Frank, who wears an obtrusively, outrageously cartoonish mask at all times, the band—the unpronounceable Soronprfbs—revels in prolonged and piercing high notes, sees beauty in discord, and, obviously, has absolutely no commercial intentions. That’s all true until Jon, a teenager and pop-rock aficionado played by Domhnall Gleeson, fills in on the keyboard and live tweets his experience recording Soronprfbs’ latest album, inadvertently turning Frank, Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal), Baraque (François Civil), Nana (Carla Azar), and manager Don (Scoot McNairy) into Internet celebrities.

Here, Abrahamson fills Vogue.com in on what Soronprfbs might be listening to and gives commentary on behalf of the band members. His list even includes a song called “Did I Step On Your Trumpet?” But of course._Autolux - “The Bouncing Wall”

_Joanna Newsom - “Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie”

_Hasil Adkins - “She Said”

Jon: This is the origin of psychobilly and just for the sheer, crazy energy of his voice. It sounds like he’s going to explode.

_Baby Dee - “April Day (Live)”

Baraque: Baby Dee is uncatagorizable. She is unique. This is maybe one of the strangest and most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Et, fini!

_Delia Derbyshire of White Noise - “Love Without Sound”

Clara: This woman was a pioneer in electronic music in the sixties. She was part of the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop. She is worthy of my respect.

_Bill Callahan - “Baby’s Breath”

Frank: Bill Callahan is a genius. I would like to get inside his head. His voice is like everyone else’s voice if they could sing like they dream of.

_The Shaggs - “Philosophy of the World”

Nana: It’s what pop music would sound like if aliens heard one Top 40 show and tried to write one on Mars.

_Danielson - “Did I Step On Your Trumpet?”

Baraque: It’s happy and it’s mad. C’est comme la vie.

_Daniel Johnston - “True Love Will Find You In the End”

Frank: This song makes me cry. Tear trickles down cheek. Mouth turns down at corners.
